Page 3 DRAFT 4. Regional Growth Committee (RGC) [00:17:03] Mayor Dawn Ramsey, RGC Chair, briefly reviewed the outcomes of the Regional Growth Committee (RGC) meeting held on October 8, 2020. 4a. Wasatch Choice implementation resources and events Mayor Ramsey acknowledged the success of the recent conference of the Utah League of Cities and Towns and noted that the Wasatch Choice vision was highlighted throughout. Another topic that was discussed dealt with potential issues the region could face relating to growth and COVID-19, and ideas and resources were shared that will help begin conversations around community-level growth. Council members were shown the newly created Wasatch Choice video, that includes comments from Mayor Ramsey and Mayor Jeff Silvestrini, which was also shared at the conference. [00:30:29] Ted Knowlton, WFRC, reviewed the Wasatch Choice Vision (Vision), which is the foundation for the formal 2019-2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The land use and economic development ideas in the Vision have become the assumed growth patterns that the RTP seeks to implement. WFRC staff will be discussing several ideas including this implementation, the challenges of addressing Utah’s rapid growth, impacts of COVID-19, and Senate Bill 34 with communities, during the upcoming Wasatch Choice workshops. 5. Transportation Coordinating Committee (Trans Com) [00:36:44] Commissioner Jeff Scott, Trans Com Chair, informed the Council that for the first time in a long time, there are no Board Modifications to review nor approve. Kip Billings, WFRC, presented an air quality update, by sharing information about carbon monoxide attainment, impacts of COVID-19, and anticipated challenges related to ozone. [00:51:53] Andrew Gruber, WFRC, invited Mayor Erin Mendenhall, who is a member of the Department of Air Quality Board, to share her thoughts. 6. Budget Committee [00:53:55] Commissioner Shawn Milne, WFRC Budget Committee Chair, discussed with the Council the items that were reviewed in the Budget Committee meeting held on October 8, 2020. 6a. PUBLIC HEARING and ACTION: Amend the WFRC FY21 Budget [00:55:07] Loveit Baumgardner, WFRC, reminded the Council that each October, WFRC closes the financial books on the previous fiscal year; this includes verifying the final expenditures, and determining what expenditures and revenues will carry forward from the previous fiscal year (FY20) into the current fiscal year (FY21). WFRC routinely carries forward funding for projects that are multi-year in nature; i.e., a project may be fully budgeted in the first year, but the work is conducted over two or more years, and the associated expenditures and revenues are therefore carried forward into the next fiscal year. This requires an amendment to the current fiscal year (FY21) budget. As WFRC completed FY20 and the final expenditures were reviewed, actual spending came in lower than budgeted by $2,306,817. This resulted mainly from spending on some contractual items that occurred more slowly than was budgeted. As a result, the amount of funds that carried forward from FY20 into FY21 was higher than was budgeted, resulting in an increase in the FY21 budget as some spending shifts from FY20 to FY21. The majority of the funds and projects carried forward from FY20 to FY21 are for Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) Program projects. There are also two new programs that have been added since the Council adopted its FY21 budget in May 2020, both reflecting federal funding from the CARES Act.
• Funding for CDBG CV Business Assistance is being passed through Weber County for the purpose of awarding grants to small businesses adversely affected by the COVID19 pandemic in Morgan, Tooele, and Weber (not including Ogden) counties (these are the “non-entitlement” areas in WFRC’s jurisdiction). WFRC received a sub-award in the amount of $29,990 to assist with administering this program.

• WFRC received a grant from the Economic Development Administration to assist local communities with economic recovery efforts needed due to the COVID19 pandemic.
[00:57:20] Commissioner Milne made a motion to open a public hearing regarding amending the WFRC FY21 Budget. Mayor Jeff Silvestrini seconded the motion. The affirmative vote was unanimous. Commissioner Bob Stevenson asked if there were any comments or questions related to the items discussed. There were none. [00:58:40] Commissioner Stevenson then made a motion to close the public hearing, Mayor Jeff Silvestrini seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in the affirmative. [00:58:54] Commissioner Bob Stevenson requested a motion to amend the WFRC FY21 Budget. Mayor Jeff Silvestrini made the motion and Commissioner Shawn Milne seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in the affirmative. 6a. ACTION: Acceptance of WFRC Audit Report for FY20 [00:59:35] Andrew Gruber, WFRC, introduced Tim Rees, with Karren, Hendrix, Stagg, Allen & Company, who provided information regarding WFRC’s FY20 Audit Report. Mr. Rees stated that overall, it was a positive report. There were no material misstatements nor discrepancies. There were no findings of non-compliance related to financial statements. A summary of the audit results may be found on page 45 of the report. [01:00:55] Commissioner Stevenson requested a motion that the Council accept the WFRC FY20 Audit Report as presented. Mayor Randy Lewis made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Shawn Milne, and the affirmative vote was unanimous. 7. Active Transportation Committee (ATC) report [01:01:30] Mayor Jo Sjoblom, Chair of the Active Transportation Committee, reported on the outcomes of the last meeting of the ATC, held on October 14, 2020. 8. Executive Director Report [01:09:59] Andrew Gruber, WFRC, provided a federal and state legislative update. Mr. Gruber announced that Megan Townsend has been promoted internally to be WFRC’s Community and Economic Development Director, as Scott Hess has moved on to another opportunity. Mr. Gruber also noted that the WFRC Meeting Schedule for 2021 was included in the meeting materials, and as of now the meetings will continue to be held remotely. 9. Other Business [01:15:25] Commissioner Bob Stevenson reminded the group that the next Council meeting will be on January 28, 2021 and asked if there were any other items to discuss. 10. Adjournment [01:15:32] As there were no other items brought forward, Commissioner Stevenson requested a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Scott Jenkins made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Mayor Randy Lewis seconded. The vote was unanimous in the affirmative, and the meeting adjourned at 3:19pm. A recording of this meeting, as well as meeting materials, may be found on the WFRC website at www.wfrc.org

Budget/Expense Report
Expenditure by Function
Expenditure by Program
Notes to the Budget/Expense Report
November 2020
In this report 42% of the fiscal year (time) has passed. Of the total amount budgeted for the year 21%
was expended through the end of November 2020. The budget in this report is the budget that was
amended by the Council on October 22, 2020.
The information contained in this report is useful in that it shows rates of expenditure by line-item and
by program and allows the Council and staff to analyze rates of expenditure and progress of the various
programs and address any areas of concern. It is not unusual for budget spent versus time to show
variations. Some expenses such as accounting/audit fees, software licenses and dues are paid at the
beginning of the fiscal year causing the percentage of budget spent versus time expended to go up.
However, as the year progresses that percentage drops and the line item and program will finish the
year within budget.
Variances in the rate of expenditure by program are considered normal and include some programs that
are expected to carry forward into the next fiscal year.
DATE: January 21, 2021 AGENDA ITEMS: 2a SUBJECTS: ACTION: Election of Chair and Vice Chair ACTION: Endorse Appointments to WFRC and Committees PREPARED BY: Andrew Gruber BACKGROUND: The WFRC Bylaws require that a Chair and Vice Chair be elected bi-annually at the first regular meeting in odd number years. The Chair and Vice-Chair shall be elected for two-year terms. At the October 2020 WFRC meeting, WFRC Chair Commissioner Bob Stevenson appointed a six-member Nominating Committee to propose a slate of officers for consideration at the January 28, 2021 meeting. The Nominating Committee met in December 2020 and will present its recommendations to the Regional Council at the January meeting. The WFRC Chair makes appointments of WFRC Members to the Regional Growth Committee (RGC), the Transportation Coordinating Committee (Trans Com), the WFRC Budget Committee, the Air Quality Committee (AQC), the Active Transportation Committee (ATC), and the Joint Policy Advisory Committee (JPAC). Appointments to WFRC and its Committees are also made by the County Councils of Governments (COGs). Updated WFRC and Committee membership lists reflecting any changes will be distributed at the WFRC meeting on January 28. RECOMMENDATION: The Regional Council will elect a Chair and Vice Chair for the 2021-2022 term and endorse the appointments to WFRC Committees. CONTACT PERSON: Andrew Gruber, [email protected], (801) 824-0055
DATE: January 21, 2021 AGENDA ITEM: 2b SUBJECT: Legislative Preview PREPARED BY: Andrew Gruber BACKGROUND: WFRC staff and partners will provide Council members with an update on key issues and legislation in the legislative session that began on January 19. RECOMMENDATION: This item is for information only. CONTACT PERSON: Andrew Gruber, (801) 824-0055, [email protected]
DATE: January 21, 2021 AGENDA ITEM: 4 SUBJECT: Wasatch Choice Vision Update PREPARED BY: Ted Knowlton The Regional Growth Committee (RGC) will report on efforts in our region to address the dual challenges of growth and COVID-19 recovery through the Wasatch Choice regional vision, our shared framework that coordinates local planning with regional infrastructure planning. Communities have also been implementing the requirements from Senate Bill 34, the 2019 legislation that required development of moderate-income housing plans and enhanced coordination of housing and transportation. BACKGROUND: Fall 2020 Wasatch Choice workshops Ten Wasatch Choice workshops were held in the fall of 2020 virtually across the region. The workshops explored transportation projects and the interrelated land use and economic development elements of the Wasatch Choice Regional Vision. The workshops also discussed impacts of COVID-19 on our communities and recent changes to state law that affect requirements for general plans and the way transportation investments are prioritized. Newly released Wasatch Choice Resources New Wasatch Choice Resources have also been released to help local governments. Last year, WFRC’s Council expressed interest in resources to assist local governments with the challenges associated with addressing growth within communities. In addition to our ongoing growth challenges, we now have the added challenge of recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. To respond to these challenges the Wasatch Choice Partners, including WFRC, have been developing resources for local governments as General Plans, zoning, and transportation investments are put into place. A package of these resources were released in December and more are in development. RECOMMENDATION: This item is for information only. CONTACT PERSON: Ted Knowlton, WFRC 801-425-3534, [email protected]
DATE: January 22, 2021 AGENDA ITEM: 5a SUBJECT: Report on Board Modifications to the 2021-2026 TIP PREPARED BY: Ben Wuthrich BACKGROUND: Since the last meeting of the Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), WFRC received requests to modify the current 2021-2026 TIP. The modification required action from Trans Com (since WFRC was not meeting) and the Utah Transportation Commission but did not require a new air quality conformity analysis or a 30-day public comment period. The modification is attached to the approved resolution. RECOMMENDATION: This item is for information only.

During design it was determined that the amount of rehabilitation needed on the 24th Street Viaduct Structure was less than initially programmed. The design was also able to
find a more efficient solution to the pedestrian access to the structure as well as receiving a very competitive bid on this project. Region One is asking to reduce the overall project
budget by $3,350,000 and reprogram some of the funds, $850,000 in NHPP_BR to the I-84; SR-66 to Summit Co. (Pin 15486) and return the remaining funds back to the Bridge
Preservation and the State STP Flex program to be re-programmed at a later date.

Region One is requesting to add funds and scope to the I-84; SR-66 to Summit County line pavement rehabilitation project that is currently programmed and scheduled to
advertise this year. The additional scope will address potholing and riding surfaces of the bridges that are within the limits of the pavement project. These proposed repairs will
improve the ride and preserve the life of the bridge decks. Additionally, the increased funding will be used to replace the existing centerline concrete barrier which is past its
service life. The barrier’s connections are showing signs of corrosion. The proposed barrier will be taller in locations due to the large volumes of trucks that travel through this
narrow curvy section of canyon. Additional funding is available from cost savings of other projects.

*Section 5337 State of Good Repair money is only recieved for fixed guideway systems that have been in operation at least 7 years, and can be used for improvements on the whole system. As fixed
guideways become at least 7 years old, the National Transit Database (NTD) will show that increase in fixed guideway miles. The Federal allocation formula will use those new numbers to increase
allocations as UTA’s rail systems meet this requirement. There is a two year lag for eligible systems to receive funds; one year for it to be reported to NTD Data and one year for it to be used as part of
the federal formula.

Additional
Funding
The Little Cottonwood Canyon Environmental Impact Study (EIS) project was funded from the Recreational Hot Spots program to identify long term solutions to improve the safety,
reliability, and mobility of SR-210. The EIS began in 2018 to develop alternatives to meet these goals. However, meeting these goals, while meeting the needs of local stakeholders,
proved to be very complex. In 2020 additional alternatives were added to ensure stakeholder concerns were heard and addressed while seeking the most viable solutions. The work
for these additional alternatives includes: - Development, design, and screening of additional alternatives. - Additional public outreach such as council meetings, open houses,
stakeholder meetings, etc. - Travel demand modeling for the screening of additional alternatives. - Developing the draft and final EIS including the Record of Decision. - Funding
for in-house engineering and legal counsel. - Funding for the design of the High-T intersections and Aux-lane projects and the Cottonwood Communications program that were
previously completed. To complete these activities, the EIS will need additional funds from the Little Cottonwood Canyon Recreational Hot Spot project.
New Transit Project
Commuter Rail Corridor
On November 30, 2020, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced competitive grant funds to six projects in six states for the Real-Time Infrastructure and Rolling Stock
Condition Assessment Demonstration Program to support infrastructure innovation and safety in the transit industry. The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) will receive funding to
develop an optical imaging system to monitor the conditions of the regional commuter rail system. A fully developed program will help UTA maintain a state-of-good repair and
provide long-term monitoring of track and rail-tie conditions.
